VLC on HTC HD2

[dob2806]

Hi guys,

I'm a new owner of an HTC HD2,with Windows Mobile 6.5.
I'd like to know if there is any version of my favourite media player "VLC" available for it ?

PS: I've tried the WinCe version, but it didn't work...

Thanks all.

Dob.

Sorry for my bad English.

We are working on it... But we don't have an interface so far.

Thank you.

Hi

i'm realy a big fan of vlc player.

to bad the vlc windows mobile project is stopped
a lot people have hsdpa internet,so i would be glad iff this project continue.

I realy need it instaled on my HTC touch HD because i need the activex plugin on my htc
to open my dreambox stream,with is based on vlc.

so i hope you will continue(should be a great late christmas gift..lol

regards stef

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

The project isn't stopped on WinCE... It just lacks an interface so far.

[sevensheaven]

to bad i do not have the knowhow,otherwise i would be glad to help(plenty time at the moment)

hope you will succes soon,so my windows 6.5 is running an installed version of vlc player..

Hi guys,

Excuse me if my question is a bit stupid, but what do you mean by an interface ?

Thanx.

Dob.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

A user interface, with the playback control buttons, dialogs to open and configure things, a playlist...

[dob2806]

ok thanks for aswering my question, is it so difficult to make such an interface ?
Is it so different than the existing one for PC ?

Thanks, best wishes.

Dob.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

yes, it is kind of difficult... And you need a device to do so.

[dob2806]

My question may sound as stupid but why don't you ask for beta tester ? or why not (yes we could dream...) ask from HTC for a device

Dob.

[dob2806]

Or why not ask for someone's help at the XDA forum ?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

why not (yes we could dream...) ask from HTC for a device

Hahaha, very funny.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Writing a proper interface takes a lot of time. And it has to be done for each and every device (at least every screen resolution and platform). This is unlikely to go to completion without a commercial(ly supported) developer. Unless you have a company who can afford to hire a developer, you had better not count on it

[sevensheaven]

ok i understand that,but why not share your knowlegde with the xda-developers community?

there are a lot of people with knowledge of porting and developing..
and then they could mabey put it in there roms..

a lot off people realy likes the vlc player..so give it a try?

regards stef

[dob2806]

Hahaha, very funny.

that's what my wife tells me every time I undress ...

[sevensheaven]

is there a way,to put the activex plugin in my htc touch hd,without the programm? or does it only come with the programm?

regards stef.

[sevensheaven]

can no one tell me?

regards stef

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

You can put the ActiveX without vlc.exe, but you need pretty much everything else, so it is kinda pointless (you won't save much space).

[sevensheaven]

It's not for saving space..

I use a browser,to go to mij home webserver,thats running a script,what let me look at my tv from home.but the browser on my phone needs activx from vlc.

i don't need the player,because it's played from within the website.

regards stef

[dob2806]

Just to know (not to poluate this forum), can we hope a VLC's version for windows mobile soon (or this year) ?

Thanks.

Dob.

[sevensheaven]

Irealy hope so,but my mint say no..looking at the progress now.
I would say there is already an interface for it(the 2003 version)

but i realy hope i'm wromg.

regards stef

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

It's not going to happen with people hopes. It's going to happen with people putting their money where their mouth is and funding a developper for a WinME UI.

[MrMcMillan]

I'll put $50 down for a Windows Mobile supported VLC (v6.1 and v6.5).

Guys,
Another one who is curious ability availability of VLC on WinCE. Do you have any timeline in mind for this interface?

Cheers
